Improving dental implant success with jawbone expansion
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a technique to widen a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed. It aims to make the procedure safe and effective for people who are missing teeth but don't have enough bone width.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have one or more missing teeth and need a dental implant.
- Your jawbone in the implant area is measured between 4 and 6 millimeters wide (as seen on a special X-ray).
- You have enough bone height so that extra bone grafting is not needed.
- You do not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day.
- You are generally healthy with no untreated infections or gum disease, and are able to keep up with follow-up visits.

This trial tests a new way to widen a narrow lower jawbone using a special blood-derived material (platelet-rich fibrin) to make room for a dental implant. It may help people who were told they don't have enough bone width for implants.
This study compares two techniques for placing dental implants in a narrow upper jaw. Both methods aim to widen the bone so a standard implant can be placed, potentially avoiding the need for a separate bone graft.
This trial tests two techniques for widening a narrow jawbone so dental implants can be placed, all in one surgery. It is for people who have lost at least one tooth and have a bone width between 3 and 5 mm.
This trial tests two ways of splitting a narrow upper jawbone to make room for dental implants. It may help you if your jawbone is too narrow for implants but tall enough.
This study compares two bone-building products used to repair a missing “bone wall” in the jaw so dental implants can be placed. You may be able to help find which material works better for guided bone regeneration and implant readiness.
This study compares two ways of making the jawbone wider in the back of the lower jaw so that dental implants can be placed. The goal is to see which method works better for people with a naturally narrow jawbone.
